BREAKING: MoveOn Statement on Election Results
WASHINGTON, D.C. – MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting issued the following statement:
“Despite the deeply disappointing results of the election yesterday, our work to build a better future for our families and our nation does not end here. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans will continue to try and divide us in hopes we give up and clear the path for them to dismantle our democracy and take away our freedoms.
“As we process the outcome of the election, our MoveOn community is thinking about our friends, family, and neighbors who will be most impacted by a second Trump term, and those who do not have the luxury of succumbing to despair because their rights and lives are on the line.
“As exhausted and defeated as we all may feel right now, giving up is not an option. The organizers, change-makers, and heroes before us have sacrificed far too much for us to drop the baton and surrender now. Our story does not end with this election result; we have a lot of work ahead of us. The future we are dreaming of is worth fighting for.
“The tens of millions of voters who chose a different future under Kamala Harris and a Democratic Congress are not going anywhere. Together, we can defeat the far right by staying engaged, mobilizing our communities, and remaining defiant guardrails against their fascist vision for our country.”
